She's a Banger But... (The $79 Custom Keyboard) 

Haha that's a great catch!

it's probably the only colorway I'd even consider, but tbh this board is a "pass" for me anyway

Green is not a lucky color to the Chinese, that's why you'll never see a Chinese guy wearing a green hat. LOL

@@24kmetal99 Oh, interesting. Searching for green+lucky+color+China gives conflicting results. Some websites say green is a symbol of wealth, while others mention the color is associated with infidelity (esp wrt green hats)

@@24kmetal99haha 戴綠帽

Thanks for the feedback!

There's a couple of really good platemounts nowadays, TX AP platemounts are so much more convenient to tune compared to the pcb mount ones because of how easy it is to uninstall them (then again you dont need to do much to make tx aps work anyway) and Designer Studio plate mounts as well.

Plenty of good cheaper boards don't - like Keychron's Q1 pro budget line, the Lemokey P1 pro

Absolutely! Great time to enter this hobby!

@@Keybored I just have a cheap little $30 board I got from Amazon, and it's got Optical switches in it, but at least their Gateron Blacks, so there are other options out there, or I can make some Franken Switches just using the bottoms of these and almost anything else, or a spring swap...plenty of modding options, there are quite a few fairly affordable 60% cases if I wanted that isn't plastic, or just better plastic...and it can all be done in stages really. I could do the switches/springs first, some new keycaps after, then eventually a new case. I've already added a little more foam (it came with some, which surprised me tbh), added a little foam to the space bar since it was very hollow sounding. The stabs were actually pretty decent, but I'm sure I could tune them a bit, make sure they're straight, do a bandaid mod, a little more lube, etc I do wish there were more videos on this sort of thing, where someone takes a relatively cheap hot swap board and then really just goes hardcore on the modding showing how it can end up sounding with each step, keeping track of the rough dollar amount, then maybe compare it to something in the same general price range to see if you can get close by just improving it as your budget permits. Anyway, this is a long rambling reply lol. Hope all is going well :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

I actually have another keyboard on the way and at least on paper, this thing seems like a crazy banger of a deal... Stay tuned!

@@Keybored always stoked for more content from you Scott!! Appreciate you calling things out for what they are!

i was just relubing the plate mount stabs on my keyboard and was thinking how convenient it was to remove and lube them without needing to take apart the keyboard, unlike screw in stabs. So i think plate mount stabs have their own advantages.

@@Keybored When will that be and will it be under 100usd? Im tryna find smth for a gift but i only have a few days to decide

Hahaha

Haha thanks! I appreciate it!

I don't know why plate mounted stabs is a downside when he said it himself: It sounds good. I'd expect someone to say that when it sounds terrible with plate mount, but this board already sound good, so what exactly is the problem? lol

@@24kmetal99 the problem is the lack of option to begin with, people who would want to use certain pcb stabs don't even have the option to begin with.

Thanks for the feedback!

I wish they made this an instock!

Kind of does doesn't it?

where ???? $35!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?

Hope they can drill some holes!

Cherry Clip-Ins w/ a proper tuning, lubing(, and every once in a blue moon Band-Aid Modding) area actually insanely good these days (And ofc Durock Clip-Ins are pretty up there too), Like I think more than not it comes down to a tuning problem with bad stabs compared to them being plate mounted. Now if the convo is about how clip-ins change the sound, arguments can be made there but its still whatever. Out of all my boards 3 have pcb and 2 have plate... Both of the ones with plate mount came in perfect with no work AT ALL needing to be done on them (aside from throwing some extra Krytox in the housings after a good amount of time)

Agreed

Not so much that it's plate mounted, but that the option could have easily been put there. A lot of these boards are an entry way for people to explore and it would have been great if that was available for someone to try new things, screw things up, learn, etc.

@Keybored tbh I do agree with that. Maybe it was an issue designing a plate that accommodates both -- but even then, they sell extra plates w/ split space for ANSI/ISO so it wouldn't be too much.

What’s wrong with the software? It does everything u should need really

Same here in ph

Which would you recommend at a $200? Thanks in advance.

@@TwilightTypingASMR I'm no pro, but personally I like modding my keyboards to my hearts content so I find boards like the Tofu60 great cause I'm not locked down to proprietary PCB's or have any extra switches on the side etc. If I could start over from the beginning I would probably look at picking up a Wooting as a base cause I'm interested in their technology and then take my time switching the case, modding the stabs and switches etc. Optimum (@optimumtech) has some great videos doing the exact same thing. =)

Hahaha thanks for the sub!

Hope you’re feeling better, Scott :)

There is another keyboard that is heading my way that may actually be the GOAT entry... Stay tuned!

It sounds thinner

lemme tell you bro, LUCKY 65 is been called "rainy 65", and yes, it did copy Rainy 75, cause appearance is important, you can compare the general looking with their past product, sugar 65

If you can't, do you have any recommendations on an aluminum custom board around 100 dollars?

Haha it's actually from another meme

Haha glad you liked it!

Not a complaint, but it was an oversight. How I see these entry boards is a platform for new comers to try things. Switches, keycaps, foam, no foam, and stabs. It'll help them understand how these things effect the keyboard and whether if they want to pursue more boards in the future. In that sense, having the option of trying out the many great screw in options (there really aren't many plate mount options out there) will help imo

@@Keybored my counter to that would just be that screw in stabs are great for people whom are already into boards that can tune them on the first go. If they are just getting into it though, plate mount will be easier for them to remove to tune.

@@reaper117nobody7 bro, plate mount stabs is actually useless... if you check the market have most intense competition on keyboard - China, plate mount stabs are nearly extinct.

Just to clarify, the Lucky 65 brand ( Weikav ) offers different arranged PC plates, even including a plate version of FR4, so it also allows users to experience different arrangements. ( Plate-mounted stabilizers are not as efficient, or convenient as Clip-in stabilizers, so I think its actually an extra selling point of Lucky 65 )

Hahaha

Ugh brotha ugh!

For me, it's not the stabs but the inability to change them to something else to explore options

@@Keybored The inability to explore other stab options is what you mean if I understand correctly? I can understand wanting to try new stabs but for me personally stabs are such a pain that I just like to tune mine to perfection and never change or worry about them again. No matter how hard I tried and all the mods I did I could never get plate mount stabs to that point.

Lucky 65, Rainy 75, INFI100 ( this is abt 125 $)

did you get buy an extra plate which supports stepped caplocks from Weikav (keyboard brand)????

Haha glad it was funny! Have a good one

ㅎㅎㅎ 그렇니까요. 시청자들을 위해서 ㅋㅋ

The Brand Weikav is a Chinese brand, and in China, Plate mounted stabs are no mainstream. pms are not as convenient as the clip-ins, and bh its just a useless design... (clip -in designs including brands made Rainy 75, INFI 100 etc...).

I would say this one might be a bit better. I have a D65, it’s quite good, but the configuration kitting isn’t as extensive as what the lucky65 offers from what I can tell. The d65 imo also has a very stiff typing experience. The lucky65 seems more likely to not have that. I would say given the additional kitting on the lucky65 u might get more value from the lucky65

@@ishanparikh5587 thank u bro

Lucky 65 is cheaper if you buy from China, it’s like $50 or less here

앗 여우비온님 발견👀 럭키65 구매해보실건가용?

Hate to break it to you, but my unit doesn't come with another socket for that stepped capslock. So Ig it depends on whether u'll have one or not.

@@m.jackson7718 I'm in fact currently using an fr4 plate in mine, it feels better and sounds better for a foamless clack build. Edit: My 1 month old comment was before the fr4 plate got released

Oh it's just one type!

Haha glad you liked it!

You mean you dislike people who judge others by their appearance? Me neither 🙃

I love womier. Both are good, i think womier might have better software. I would prefer the lucky as i like the overall design and what comes with it

The SK71 is more akin to the Xinmeng M71. But you can check out the Womier SK65, basically the Lucky65 with knob (same OEM). will come out at around the same time as the Lucky65. Personally, if you're on a tight budget and as long as you can live with the compromises on a budget board, the Lucky65 is not bad. It's more like an upgraded Sugar65 but not on the likes of the Neo65 level. IMO, i would get the Luminkey65 if you have the budget, while it's still on stock.

That is in fact what he said

Not really negative, my opinion!

@@Keybored which is true, I just don’t agree that it makes the board all that bad, especially at the price point. Don’t get me wrong, I love your content, I just simply don’t agree :)

What's that brotha!?

Haha glad you enjoyed it!

Hmmm I think I forgot to mention it in the video, but it's something like... $79?

Congrats!

Welcome!
